Rose
Honeybees primarily visit roses for abundant pollen to feed their larvae, with minimal nectar available. Peak blooming occurs in early summer, supporting colony growth during this active period. Roses prefer well-drained soil and full sun, benefiting from pruning to promote bushy growth and extended flowering; they may require protection from aphids and black spot.
